On the martial arts field, Wu Chengsi had already gotten into position and was waiting for Xue Shao.
There were already many soldiers watching from the sidelines. Firstly, this was a lecture on martial arts by a thousand oxen. Secondly, the soldiers wanted to know which commander dared to gamble with a despicable person like Wu Chengsi.
Xue Shao looked around and saw that Emperor Li Zhi had indeed come.
The steps and empty space outside the threshold of the palace where the emperor lived were often painted red, so they were called the place where the emperor lived.
This battle was an opportunity for Xue Shao to show Li Zhi his position and strength, proving that his choice was correct. If Xue Shao won, then Xue Shao would truly be considered the Emperor's man.
The Thousand Bull Guards were the emperor's personal guards, but they were not completely under the control of the emperor, Li Zhi. Half of them listened to the Wu clan. This proved that the imperial power was in danger, how could the emperor be assured of his own safety?
Li Zhi wasn't as weak and incompetent as history had said. At least after retiring behind the scenes for nearly ten years, he still retained half of the imperial power. If his body was strong, Empress Wu Zetian wouldn't have appeared at all. Li Zhi really wanted to but couldn't.
"Commander Xue, please come up and challenge me!"
Xue Shao took a deep breath and stepped into the air.
Nearly a thousand soldiers below the stage let out earth-shaking roars. Xue Shao was caught off guard and was stunned. This scene was really too big!
On the stage, Wu Chengsi's expression was relaxed and extremely confident. He stood proudly with his hands behind his back and waited for Xue Shao.
"Today, I will let the emperor and princess know that you only rely on your mouth and face to eat.”Wu Chengsi stared into Xue Shao's eyes, almost enunciating each word.
Xue Shao smiled slightly and was not angry." Then this Xue will rely on my fists today.”
"That's great, but in my opinion, it's nothing but a joke. A Xiantian Realm warrior dares to be so arrogant.”Wu Chengsi grinned.
"Watch how I smash your face!”Wu Chengsi said fiercely.
"I see that you're quite good at talking!" Xue Shao wasn't willing to be outdone and said mockingly.
"You're courting death!" Wu Chengsi was furious. He took a deep breath and bent his legs to look at the situation. It was like a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey. However, because he was too fat, he looked more like a pig!
The Thousand Bulls Martial Arts Competition was purely about hand-to-hand combat. No weapons were allowed, and no one was allowed to attack the other party's private parts. After all, they were all the emperor's personal guards, so they could not suffer any losses. Other than that, everything else was done at will. Until the other party admitted defeat or the referee declared defeat.
"Although Wu Chengsi isn't very powerful, he's still a general. A Xiantian Realm warrior can't go against him!”
"That's right, it seems like Xue Shao did use his skirt…to bring his connections up.”
"How many moves do you think he can take?"
"Only five moves!"
The soldiers below the stage began to discuss, and some old foxes had already begun to place their bets.
Pre-Sky Realm warriors could slightly use spiritual energy to strengthen their moves, while Connate Realm warriors could flexibly use spiritual energy to attack or assist. However, generals could use spiritual energy to temper their bodies, which greatly increased the strength of their bodies.
On the surface, Xue Shao's physical strength was very difficult to contend against, but he also used his brain in combat. Xue Shao slowly clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes at Wu Chengsi.
Wu Chengsi looked down on him and was eager to prove himself by winning in the fastest and most straightforward way.
His character was very fiery, and of course, his strength was definitely not weak. At least on paper, his strength was now a little stronger than Xue Shao. If Xue Shao wanted to win, angering him was a good way.
Once a person was angry, it was easy to make mistakes.
The conversation between the strong and the battle of life and death were often not about who was stronger and who did the right thing, but who made fewer mistakes!
Wu Chengsi grinned hideously as he threw a fist at Xue Shao, aiming at his heart. It was as if Xue Shao would not be able to resist this punch.
Xue Shao used all of his spiritual energy on his movement technique and nimbly twisted his body to avoid this punch. The instant he turned his body, he swiped four fingers across Wu Chengsi's face!
This action was quite well-hidden. Other than Cheng Qizhi (the other Commander Qianniu), who was standing very close, almost no one saw it. Cheng Qizhi secretly praised Xue Shao for being not bad.
The two of them passed by each other as if they had exchanged positions. Wu Chengsi felt a burning sensation on his face, probably because he had scratched his fingernails, but he couldn't reach out to touch it. Such humiliation made Wu Chengsi so angry that his entire body was trembling and his eyes were about to turn red!
How dare you slap me in public!
Xue Shao stood calmly, his expression cold and stern. He used the hand that had slapped him to hook at Wu Chengsi.
The audience was shocked. He was too arrogant!
Everyone in the Thousand Bull Guard was shocked. Someone even slapped his forehead." We lost money!"”
Wu Chengsi struck like lightning, his foot carrying thunder as he kicked Xue Shao's head. If this kick was accurate, Xue Shao would have lost his fighting strength.
Xue Shao dodged to the side and barely avoided it. It was really dangerous, and this move angered Wu Chengsi even more. He threw three punches in a row, each of which created wind. Xue Shao dodged the edge of the punch and hit Wu Chengsi as he ran. He slapped Wu Chengsi on the face.
Shocked hiss and strange laughter sounded off the field. Xue Shao was also too illogical. How could he fight while running? Moreover, his steps were too messy. How could a martial arts practitioner not stabilize his lower body when facing an enemy in close combat?
In the red steps, Li Zhi's eyes were filled with admiration. When the weak attacked the strong, they should use a surprise attack. The art of war is cunning, brave and resourceful. Princess Taiping said,"That person is so interesting. Wu Chengsi is constantly being teased by him."”
Li Zhi said with a smile that was not a smile," This person is your Prince Consort. Not only is he talented, but he's also handsome. Are you sure you don't want him?”
"No!" Princess Taiping said without hesitation. Her heart had been captured by that person. Even if there was an extremely good man in front of her, it would be useless.
"Then don't regret it?" Li Zhi secretly laughed.
"I won't regret it!"
